I sure as hell hope Laura doesn't do it all for the nookie, because for real, I know places where she could get better nookie for that shit.
I think that maybe Athena is more okay with Caprica helping Hera due not only to the extreme situation but also because Caprica is probably less threatening now that she's distracted by her own miracle flipperbaby. But yes, it is very entertaining.
Gorgeous Sixes hair is made of magic.
Magic and PONIES. I want it like I'm eight years old.
Zarek was a poor choice as a partner. He was in it for his own reasons that didn't sync up with Gaeta.
You know, I wonder if Gaeta trusted Zarek more because on New Caprica he wouldn't go along with the cylon government and so Gaeta had him pegged as some kind of man of Resistancey Principle? I hadn't thought about that before, but Zarek was in custody and who knows how well Gaeta knew him around that time, or how much VP Zarek hated Baltar's cruddy government pre-Occupation and bitched about it to Gaeta? I hadn't really thought about it before, but those two almost certainly had a pre-existing relationship.
I did expect Gaeta to shoot Zarek in the head and then off himself in the CIC.
It wouldn't have surprised me either, but I'm glad he didn't. Adama got out of having to kill Cain because someone else did it for him. Gaeta doing that would have felt like the writers trying to give Adama an "out" so that he didn't have to order his execution. Which...horrific though it was, was the kind of awful ending this story needed to have.
It was an ugly story and I would have been angry if Adama got a pass on doing something ugly.
The main reasons I don't like A/R is that they bring out the worst in each other and it's like creating a freaking dynasty/dictatorship/royal family.
Exactly. And it pisses me off because if Roslin were at her best around him, I wouldn't be worried about it being a dynasty/royal family. Grr.
